It does have a soft delicate look-even the perch is delicate! nicely done

[Gus Cobos]

Well done Mr. O
I like the bird placement in frame. The perch is delicate but sweet. I like the color rendition and the baby blue sky...the feathers have a silky smooth feel to them...I like it...good show. Head angle and eye contact are dead on...congrats...:cool:

Love the colors and also like the soft feel..I kinda wish the head was a bit sharper maybe? Still quite pretty

[Phil Ertel]

Nice soft feel to this one. The like the placement of the bird and perch in frame. Lovely image.

Hi,

I believe it's an Eastern Phoebe. To me the body and to a lesser extent the rest of the bird looks a little too soft - slightly out of focus, or some camera shake, and I would have preferred a sharper image. I agree that the pose and lighting are very pleasing.
